Chapter 8: Torsion
Few assumptions are taken into Using Right Hand Law, torsion vector
account in torsion analysis, can be determined
• The longitudinal axis of the shaft • Planar cross-sectional parallel with
remains straight. member axis will remains planar after
• The shaft does not increase or subjected to torsion.
decrease in length. • Shear strain, γ is changing linearly
• Radial lines remain straight and radial along the bar.
as the cross section rotates.
• Cross sections rotate about the axis of
the member.
Shear stress due to torsion
• Shear stress in circular section, τ (tau). From Hooke’s Law,
τ : Shear stress in the shaft if
τmax=maximum shear stress occurs at the
τ = TR outer surface @ tegasan ricih. (N/m2)
J J : Polar moment of inertia of the cross
sectional area @ moment sifat tekun kutub
(m4)
T : Applied torque acting at the cross
section (Nm)
R : Radius of the shaft (m)
Angles of twist
Twisting angle is angle (in radian) produced when a bar is
subjected to torsion.

• Given;
di = 60mm, do = 100mm, τmax = 70MPa

• Remember: τmax=maximum shear stress occurs at the outer surface/radius.
Composite Bars
• Combined bar consists of two or more materials to form a structure. An example
is shown in Figure. Superposition principle is used to solve this problem.

Since t is a constant because of the square tube, the average shear stress
is the same at all points on the cross section.
